An opinion poll by the University of Macedonia for SKAI TV recorded that three out of every four Greeks, 75%, believe that the new government is determined to carry out its pre-election pledges while 72% of Greek citizens support the government’s confrontation with the troika of international creditors from the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary fund.

Regarding a Grexit, 35.5% of those questioned fear it, 9.5% hope for it and one in three does not believe that it is a possibility.
